One of my absolute favorite holiday traditions is this simple holiday simmer pot! It makes the house instantly feel cozy and festive during the holidays. It's easy, smells incredible, and fills the entire home with that warm, Christmas-y scent.
Here's what I've done year after year, but you can't mess it up!
You’ll need:
- Oranges (cut up or just the peels)
- A handful of cranberries
- Whole cloves
- Cinnamon sticks
Optional:
- Ground cinnamon or nutmeg if you don’t have sticks or cloves
How to make it:
- Fill a small pot with water and add your ingredients. (You can also use a crockpot on low with the lid off if you prefer.)
- Simmer on low.
- Refill the water as needed so it continues to simmer throughout the day.
Your whole house will smell like Christmas, without any artificial scents. These also make great little gifts for friends and family if you're heading to any holiday parties soon!

Honestly, I tried this on Thanksgiving after cooking and cleaning up. I love the smell. I sat down on my couch watch some Christmas movie. Honestly, it was just smelling the house so good and I felt so relaxed.
